	GEORGE OF TREBIZOND - LoveToKnow Article on GEORGE OF TREBIZOND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		GEORGE, HENRY (1839-1897), American author and political economist, was born in Philadelphia, Penn., on the 2nd of September 1839.
		Henry George had no political ambition, but in 1886 he received an independent nomination as mayor of New York City, and became so popular that it required a coalition of the two strongest political parties to prevent his election.
		The fundamental doctrine of Henry George, the equal right of all men to the use of the earth, did not originate with him; but his clear statement of a method by which it could be enforced, without increasing state machinery, and indeed with a great simplification of government, gave it a new form.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 2004.10.27, Adler/Tuffin, George Synkellos
		'Syncellus' was a title which in the early Church was given to those monks or clerics who shared quarters with their bishops, and who served primarily as deacons in the offices of the mass and were often presumed to succeed the bishop at his death.
		Syncellus provides endless (to the casual reader, at least) tables of monarchs, emperors, and bishops and the years of their reign.
		Additionally, Syncellus is valuable for the allusions he presents for his own travels in and around contemporary Palestine, and there is even a possibility that the author may have access to a number of sources (now lost) in the original Syriac as well.

		George the Syncellus served under the Patriarch Tarasius (784 to 806 CE), but he did not follow the usual path and succeed Tarasius upon the Patriarch's death.

		Secondly, Syncellus cites numerous narrative historical works and chronicles (both Christian and secular) from Egypt and the ancient Near East, many of which are unattested elsewhere, and, when they are, they often appear in fragmentary form.

	Thallus: an Analysis
		George Syncellus, a 9th-century monk, composed a world chronicle, quoting verbatim from numerous previous chroniclers, one of whom being the 3rd-century Christian chronicler Julius Africanus.
		It appears that some copyist was copying or reading this passage in either Africanus or Syncellus and remembered the Phlegon connection, writing it as a note to the side or in between the lines.
		Without further data, we might say that Syncellus mistook the marginal note of a previous owner of his copy of Africanus, or made the note himself while a later copier of Syncellus mistook it as text, or that the note and the mistake happened entirely before or after the involvement of Syncellus.
